A sea lion pup that wandered onto the streets of San Francisco early Thursday morning is now resting safe at a marine mammal rescue center.
A tourist first spotted the male sea lion under an SUV in San Franciscos Marina District around 6:30 a.m., ABC News station KGO-TV reports.
It took rescue crews close to a half hour to eventually capture the animal, with aerial helicopter footage showing one rescue worker finally getting the sea lion into a net.
"Luckily the San Francisco Police Department had stopped traffic around him and was protecting him until we got there," Shawn Johnson with the Marine Mammal Center told KGO-TV.
After the sea lion was captured, workers with the Marine Mammal Center realized theyve dealt with this particular seal once before.
